Voting poll: how big was your ballot paper?

[bi0boy]

I seem to remember ballot papers used to be around A5 size and be presented in landscape orientation.

However there seems to be a trend of increasing size and a creeping portrait-orientisation.

What was yours like?

Your hands are just getting smaller as you get older

Mine were both portrait in orientation - probably somewhere between A4 and A5 in overall paper acreage. One was white and one yellow.

 

[Sprocket.]

Three papers, two A4 size, white and salmon pink and one A5 yellow.

with ballot papers as in so many areas of life, size doesn't matter - it's what you do with it that counts

 

[moochedit]

wouldn't it depend on how many candidates are standing in your area?

Pah, all pathetically small compared with the ballot papers for the Australian senate. Over 100 candidates in NSW last time.

A5ish, portrait. I don't remember ever having had a landscape one.

I am not prepared to answer the question in th op. It is supposed to be a SECRET ballot.

 

[comrade spurski]

Mine was huge...a whopping 12 inches...no word of a lie!

 

[comrade spurski]

Anyway...size of the ballot paper is irrelevant. ..it's what you do with it that matters

 

[weltweit]

Two papers, one white one pinkish.. General election and local

Both folded and slightly less than A4

 

[redsquirrel]

That's not a ballot paper, this

is a ballot paper

Well as we are now doing movie quotes...

Say 'ello to ma lillil frien

 

[StoneRoad]

white, about square A5 ish ............ with five candidates.

 

[quiet guy]

3 different voting papers today, a white one for the MP which was about A4 in size with 5 candidates, next was a green one for the local district council election with 5 candidates from which you could select a maximum of three and the last was a yellow one for the parish council election with 15 candidates from which you could select a maximum of 11.

 

[SpookyFrank]

There were two independent candidates on mine who I'd never heard of.

 

[starfish]

Was surprised to get 2. Didn't know it was council elections too.
